THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SET DID NOT ALIGN WITH THE OPERATING TECHNIQUE. THE PATIENT WAS ALREADY IN NARCOSIS AND PREPARED FOR SURGERY BUT HAD TO BE WAKEN UP WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION. THEREFORE PATIENT IS STILL WAITING FOR TREATMENT. ON (B)(6) 2020 IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEORTHOKIT USED IS NAMED "HYBRID RING FIXATOR SET". CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE ORTHOKIT BECAUSE THE HIBRID RING FIXATOR ARTICLES ARE OBSOLETE HOWEVER, NO COMMUNICATION WAS MADE IN TERMS OF THE ARTICLES BEING OBSOLETE AND ABOUT THE CHANGES IN THE ORTHOKIT.
